Restroom Grant

Purpose of the 2009 Restroom Grants for Rural UM Churches of the United Methodist Conference

The Duke Endowment has generously provided funding for installation of restroom facilities or upgrade of existing inadequate facilities for rural United Methodist Churches in the North Carolina Conference. It is hoped that these funds will be utilized for materials only, however, if you do not have adequate expertise in your congregation to provide the labor, or do not have the ability to fund the labor, please ensure that you note the need for labor funding.

To be considered for funding, all installation and upgrades must comply with current North Carolina Codes, Local Codes, and North Carolina Accessibility Codes. Installations or upgrades should be handicapped accessible. At the completion of the project, please submit a completion report with photos and final costs.

Please complete and submit your application to the Office of Missions. Grant applications should be submitted by March 31, 2009 via mail or fax. Late applications will be considered if grant funds remain. The Missions Team Building Committee will determine grant recipients. Notifications will be made by April 30 and funds will be disbursed by May 15.

It is our hope that this application will provide you a vehicle for funds request while providing a basic structure to allow solid decisions in funds disbursement. We are happy to answer any questions you might have regarding the process.

It is a blessing to be able to serve in this regard.

Shalom,

Steve Taylor

Director, Missions Development
